Ladies, Tom Ford is doing lips. This month under his Private Blend label, the design mogul known for his stupendous turnaround of the Gucci Group's assets and of course for his own design label, has unveiled his signature lipstick line. And while not many girls are likely to pay-up for a simple tube of lipstick, Ford fans (who understand that this man - delivers!) are going wild. A palette of 12 "perfect" lip colors, scented with chamomile, packed with the purest of pigment, and utterly creamy - thanks to loads of Brazilian murumuru butter. His ivory, gold-rimmed case creation is classic and heavyweight; a tribute to our grandmothers - the way they'd open an ornate case, spin out the bullet, and paint their pout was so, i don't know, glamourous. So not lip-gloss. As mothers, we all know how tough it can be to consistently look put-together on the go - but a good lipstick is all a girl needs. One coat and we're dressed. Thanks for the help Tom.
Private Blend Lip Color, $45.00
Wanted to share an awesome "flash sale" website with all my readers. Geared towards the Mom race, Totsy offers brand-name kids clothing, toys, gear, and mom-goods at ridiculously reduced prices! Attempting to remain exclusive and not be tainted by an overdose of popularity (which would result in sell-outs before the first hour of sale), Totsy tried to remain an invitation-only website for a while, but membership can be requested now. All FreidaFroo readers can enter the Totsy-hood by clicking on the (linked) icon above. Happy thrifting, ladies!
Consignment store fans, rejoice! This new website will have you reveling in the exciting retail possibilities now available for your young ones. Eco-Fashion Rocks provides us with a venue to buy and sell children's clothing through the www. Send in gently worn clothing, and receive a bank account transfer for what they're worth - easy as pie! What a wonderful way to ease up on some of our storage space while spring cleaning, or rid ourselves of unworn babygifts etc. all while making an easy buck. Eco-fashion Rocks is also a super-cool place to spot a designer bargain such as this lovely Oilily dress ($23)! There's not much selection on the site right now (though it definitely looks up-and-coming!), but with some searching I came across some great designer pieces from Oilily, Petite Bateau etc. Totally the hottest novelty-retail concept since Ebay! : )
Happy scavenging!
I'm totally stoked for Pesach vacation in Chicago, but I can't help my mind from wandering to the weeks and months that follow our return to this golden state - all those Sunday beach trips that are rapidly approaching! I've got sun and surf on the mind..... check out this fabulous line of eyewear from Karen Walker. Beach bumming simply can't get much more hip than this! See the rest of the collection here.
